General

What is it?

Magic Lantern is an enhancement atop of Canon's firmware that frees your Canon DSLR, allowing you to use many useful features. It is an open (GPL) framework for developing extensions to the official software.

Does Magic Lantern completely supercede Canon firmware?

No. Magic Lantern runs from the card, as an improver over standard firmware. You will still be able to access all Canon functionality.

To go back to Canon firmware, you may:

• Press and hold SET at startup to bypass ML just once (for the current session).

• Format your carte du jour in the camera and choose to remove Magic Lantern.

• Disable the bootflag (this volition uninstall ML from the camera; to do this, run Firmware Upgrade and follow the instructions).

Is Magic Lantern only for video?

No. Start versions were developed past contained filmmakers and tailored for video production on 5D Mark 2. Things changed when Magic Lantern was ported to smaller (APS-C) cameras, like 550D, 60D, 600D and 500D, which attracted developers interested in both still photography and DSLR video.

Visit the gallery for photo examples.

Is information technology legal?

This is a clean room / black box reverse engineering effort and as such should exist OK. Frequently asked questions about reverse technology addresses the legality question; producing an interoperable production is 1 of the explicit allowances enshrined in law.

Magic Lantern does not contain whatever Canon lawmaking. Also, we exercise not distribute any copyrighted code or cryptographic secrets, neither from Canon nor from whatsoever other third party. All the knowledge used for evolution was obtained by analyzing ARM code, by experimenting, and from lawfully obtained documentation.

Is information technology safe?

No. Magic Lantern was created by contrary engineering an undocumented organisation that controls hardware. Therefore, nosotros can't exist certain that it's 100% safe.

Magic Lantern does not supersede Canon lawmaking (which is stored in ROM), just information technology does alter the settings (which are saved to a non-volatile retentiveness). If Magic Lantern would prepare incorrect values for certain settings, this may crusade the camera not to boot (even without ML).

The same adventure is present if you utilize 3rd party software for USB remote control. These programs use the aforementioned API for changing photographic camera settings (properties), and Canon code does not always check the validity of the settings earlier saving them to NVRAM. Hither's a proof. Fifty-fifty developers of USB control software, who use Catechism'southward own SDK, agree with this.

Imagine that your config file gets corrupted and you can't just delete information technology and get-go from scratch. We consider this a design flaw in Canon software. We did encounter such issues during development, simply we were able to recover from them. For technical details, see Unbricking.

We believe the safest way to run Magic Lantern (or any third party camera control software) is to utilize custom modes - in these modes, Canon code does non save user settings to NVRAM.

In practice, we are doing our all-time to preclude these situations, and thousands of users are enjoying it without problems. Nonetheless, this does non represent a guarantee - apply it at your own adventure.

Every bit a precaution, the installer asks y'all to make a backup re-create of your ROM files on the PC. That fashion, if something goes wrong, nosotros accept higher chances of existence able to diagnose or fix the issue.

Actually, using Magic Lantern we take successfully unbricked a 5D Mark Ii damaged by a USB remote controller app.

Does it void my warranty?

A Magic Lantern user posted this on dpreview:

I've spoken to canon Cps (pro service in UK) and they've advised me that it'south quite possible to downgrade firmware from new version to older version BUT they advised me to send information technology in to Canon for them to exercise information technology and test. Pocket-size service charge would be involved but could be done while I wait.

Interestingly enough, they also advised me that Magic Lantern firmware would not invalidate my Catechism Warranty as information technology's not a hardware modification. Though I'g reluctant to observe out for sure

And another user posted this on t2iforum:

I contacted Canon Support Portugal nearly using ML, the reply was the following:

Quote

(…) the use of custom firmware or whatsoever other third party acessory with our equpment will void the warranty of the product IF PROVEN that the malfunction of the device was caused past the utilize of those.
Canon respects the rights that their customers accept to decide what accessories or firmware to utilise, although nosotros practice non recommended their use, and we are not responsible for whatsoever harm to the equipment.

The Magic Lantern firmware is distributed with NO WARRANTY and NO GUARANTEES are provided. It might piece of work. It might not. It hasn't destroyed any cameras yet, just who knows.

How will it collaborate with hereafter upgrades from Canon?

ML builds/versions are branded for a defended camera and an exactly matching firmware version. If Catechism supplies a new firmware ML and new firmware version go incompatible after installation. Cam will non startup properly with ML card inserted. If a dev finds time to port ML to the new firmware version and changes are essential a new ML version may be there in time. However information technology is completely possible that this new firmware will exist ignored because of lack of time. In this case you take to downgrade to previous (uniform) firmware version to make ML run over again. ML project provides links to compatible firmware versions. According to Canon downgrade is not possible just nosotros think otherwise.
Porting ML to a new firmware version is a transmission (and extensive) process to find the symbols in each new version, although tools like patchdiff2, Gensig/Finsig and GPL Tools/match.py brand information technology much easier. Each new version must be statically linked against addresses in the firmware ROM as if information technology were a library, which requires locating the entire set of symbols.

Despite this tight integration, Magic Lantern software does not comprise any Catechism code. It is entirely a clean-room implementation that runs along side the official Catechism firmware as a separate DryOS task.

Is Magic Lantern available in other languages?

Currently, Magic Lantern releases do not accept multiple languages built in. You can find a work in progress module that aims to translate menus here.

PS: We know there is a chinese version in the wild which is payware. This ML project team has no affiliations with it and neither endorse its usage nore back up it.

Is this FAQ available in other languages?

No. If there are whatever they are not supported/updated/maintained and may be outdated/incorrect.

PS: If you lot experience encouraged to offering your assistance to translate this FAQ … we have no fashion to maintain it properly. Information technology has been discussed but until nosotros detect a sustainable way to keep it upwards-to-date with limited homo-power we have to decline your offering.

Usage

Press the DELETE button.

Can I offset my cam without ML?

Yeah, press Prepare before startup and go along it pressed until startup is completed.

And you can insert a card not enabled for Magic Lantern and startup cam.

Navigate to the Modules tab, load the module(s) you lot need (non all of them!), then restart your camera.

More than info about modules: How to install and load modules

If you lot still can't discover it, the feature is probably not available on your camera. See feature comparison table.

Which Magic Lantern build is running on my camera?

Build version is visible in Help tab/screen'southward bottom section. Y'all should always provide this data if y'all have a question/issue to share with ML forums. Your build designation may exist unlike, though.

Why can't I see the Magic Lantern overlays I enabled?

Magic Lantern overlays are only displayed in ML'south own liveview screen(southward). Global Draw must exist enabled (ON) and Clear Overlays must be disabled for the modes you are using. Then, while in Liveview or Moving picture fashion, press the DISP or INFO button until you lot are past Canon'due south own liveview screens.

In full general, ML features that require some extra setup will be grayed out in the menu, and the help text at the lesser of the screen will tell y'all why.

How exercise I restore ML default settings?

Prefs → Config → Restore ML defaults.

Alternative: format the card and exercise a fresh install.
Simply re-installing Magic Lantern does non change/reset existing Magic Lantern settings!

How do I erase all of the images without removing ML?

Canon menu → Format → Format bill of fare, keep Magic Lantern.

How do I tape for more than 12 minutes? (Digic four cameras)

• H.264:

  • Lower the `bitrate`_ (CBR 0.4 will permit you record continuously for thirty minutes).

  • Use `Picture show restart`_, but yous will lose a few seconds when a new file is created.

  • Technically, there's no 12 minute limit. There'southward a 30 minute limit and a 4 GB limit, whichever comes first. With default bitrate settings, the 4 GB limit is reached afterwards around 12 minutes (more or less).

How do I record/stream for more than xxx minutes?

• H.264:

  • There is no flawless way to achieve this just a workaround:

  • Utilise `Motion-picture show restart`_, but you volition lose a few frames until a new file is created.

• RAW/MLV:

• Can record continuously until the card gets total (no 30-infinitesimal limit).

• File sizes are huge; you lot may want to reduce resolution and/or FPS; too use a large menu.

• exFAT recommended; otherwise, when creating a new 4GB segment, the speed drops a bit and recording may terminate. Don't forget to enable ExFat option in MLV bill of fare.

• External HDMI recorder or HDMI capture device continued to PC + recording software:

  • Enable the Clear Overlays characteristic to hide focus box in AF way and 16:9 confined.

  • Make the half-shutter button sticky (Prefs menu) to prevent the camera from turning off LiveView after xxx minutes. This method is kind of outdated. It is recommended to utilize:

• USB with EOS Utility and liveview:

  • Enable the Clear Overlays feature to hibernate focus box in AF manner and sixteen:9 bars.

  • Brand the half-shutter button viscid (Prefs menu) to prevent the camera from turning off LiveView subsequently 30 minutes.
    This method is kind of outdated. It is recommended to use:

  • You lot need recording/streaming software able to grab liveview content like OBS.

  • Resolution is fixed to 576p!

• USB with EOS Webcam Utility:

  • There is no 30 minute limit and therefore no need for ML to interfere!

  • Output is make clean, there are no overlays!

Will I get better HDMI resolution/bitdepth/... with Magic Lantern?

At the moment ML tin do nothing to enhance HDMI resolution, bit depth, frame charge per unit, …
ML is able to bypass 29:59 fourth dimension-out (see topics above) and is able to enforce VGA resolution. And of course it can force clean HDMI output: No overlays, no boxes/rectangles even with agile AF.

Tin can ML suppress black columns left and correct in HDMI streaming?

No. If your cam gives you lot 1920×1080 output via HDMI but "active" surface area is actually 1620×1080 (iii:2 ratio)+ black borders left and right: Nothing ML can do about this. You may accept to apply tools similar OBS to catch a 16:9 frame from active area and stretch 1620×911 to Total-Hard disk.

What can Magic Lantern do to enhance "EOS Webcam Utility" operation?

Sorry, nothing ML can do nigh information technology. Information technology's 576p for all cams.

RAW/MLV: Tin't set resolution to Full-Hard disk: "1920 is not possible in current video manner (max 1728)"

You have to enter ML's crop mode (come across below) to activate settings above native resolution.

RAW/MLV: How to enter "crop mode"?

Press magnify/loupe/zoom button. On some cams you will observe an boosted entry "Crop mode" in Movie tab. Despite sharing the name those modes are not identical.

How do I go exposure times longer than 30 seconds?

You lot may use:

• `Seedling timer`_ (for a single photo).

• `HDR`_ bracketing in manual mode.

How practise I see shutter counter / internal temperature?

Wait in the Debug menu. Temperature volition be displayed in ML's liveview overlay, too.

Tin can I use LiveView in complete darkness?

Yeah. Increase display gain, use a low FPS (with FPS override), or both. With a bit of tweaking, you can make the LiveView vivid enough to manually focus on stars, for example.

Besides bank check out the night color schemes optimized for nighttime shooting, or try disabling exposure simulation.

How do I shoot timelapse?

You have a couple of options:

• Intervalometer - the classic mode in photograph manner. You lot will have to postprocess the shots in gild to create the final motion-picture show. In this way, you also have access to advanced options like ramping tools, HDR timelapse or very long exposures.

• FPS override - In video manner but select a depression FPS value (down to about 0.2 FPS) and ML will record a timelapse.

• Silent moving-picture show timelapse, to save the shutter count. For timelapse best to exist combined with Intervalometer.

I want to change the settings apace, without having to press lots of buttons. Can ML help me?

Yes. Check out these features:

• Shortcut keys for commonly used functions (including push-push button white residuum)

• Brandish presets - create custom LiveView modes (for example, your favorite settings for checking exposure, focus, framing and then on).

• Ultra fast zoom in playback mode.

• Alter prototype review style to PLAY - after taking a picture yous tin can printing Zoom In right away and check critical focus in a split-second.

• Navigate the card using the scrollwheels - much faster than with pointer keys.

• Customizable menu - y'all tin configure it to only display the essentials, so you don't have to scroll through lots of menus.

• My Menu - similar to Canon's implementation

• Junkie menu - all your important settings on a unmarried folio.

Does Magic Lantern eat more ability than standard Canon firmware?

In LiveView it draws 3-five% more than power (measured on 60D and 5D Marking II with zebra and focus peaking active). Run across this forum thread for details.

Magic Lantern can reduce power consumption by dimming or turning off the LCD screen, or by pausing LiveView without moving the mirror. See `Ability saving`_ for details.

In plain photo way with display off, the power draw is a bit higher, because Magic Lantern disables CPU powersaving features (otherwise, intervalometer and other ML functions would stop running). We accept measured vi% / hr on 60D (compared to 4% / 60 minutes with Canon firmware), and x% / hr on 5D Marking Two (compared to 5% / hour with Canon firmware).

Why the audio is and so quiet / noisy after disabling AGC?

How do I disable AGC on 600D/T3i, 5D Marking Iii, 6D and and so on?

From Canon menu.

Installation

How do I install it?

Follow the install guide. You will have to copy Magic Lantern files on your carte and run Update firmware from the menu. The running firmware shuts down, loads the file into RAM and starts information technology running. Rather than reflashing the ROMs, this new program starts the DryOS boot procedure to install itself.

How exercise I uninstall it?

Just format the menu. The bootflag volition be however at that place, just it will generally not affect normal performance. There are two known exceptions though: EyeFi cards volition not piece of work, and startup time may exist a lilliputian slower, even on non-ML cards.

To remove the bootflag, run Firmware Update from a ML card and follow the instructions.

What if I try to use it on a incorrect firmware version?

It will print a message telling you lot and then, and will invite you to take the bombardment out.

This was uncomplicated enough to be implemented with portable (photographic camera-independent) code.

Does ML practise any persistent changes to my camera?

Yes. Besides the bootflag (which is required for auto-kicking), there are a couple of other changes to Canon settings, which are saved into flash ROM past Canon firmware. These are:

• ISO, shutter, aperture, white residue;

• Exposure compensation, drive way;

• Picture style and associated parameters;

• Wink settings (enabled/disabled, exposure compensation, red middle reduction);

• AF points, AF mode in LiveView, focus box position;

• Exposure simulation setting (in Expo menu; disabled temporarily when using 5x/10x zoom modes);

• Backlight level (for example, it's lowered temporarily if you use `Dim display`_ for power saving);

• Autofocus is moved temporarily to back (*) button whenever ML has to take a picture without autofocusing. This includes HDR bracketing and bulb exposures.

• Autofocus is moved temporarily to half-shutter when you use `AF patterns`_, while irresolute the AF point;

• Sound recording is disabled temporarily when you employ `FPS override`_;

• On 600D, video mode may be inverse via ML shortcut key;

• On 50D, movie recording function is changed from ML menu (yes, this is a persistent Catechism setting, simply it'southward not present in Canon menus);

• On 650D, 700D and EOS K, the movie ingather way is also a persistent Canon setting, not nowadays in Canon menus;

• AFMA values (on models that already take this feature from Canon);

• Preferred bill of fare (on models with dual carte du jour slot);

• others (the list is incomplete).

With few exceptions, these settings tin can as well be inverse from Canon menus or controls. Sometimes, ML lets you specify values outside the normal range allowed by Catechism's user interface (for instance: Kelvin white rest, AFMA values, intermediate ISO/shutter/aperture values).

A few settings are changed temporarily during certain operations (for case, autofocus for bracketed shots), but these settings are saved by Catechism firmware in NVRAM. If you take the battery out in the eye of the operation (for example, in the heart of taking a picture), ML won't be able to restore these settings dorsum to your initial values, and y'all'll have to change them back from Canon menus.

To the best of our knowledge, all these settings are restored to default values when you run Articulate camera settings and Articulate custom functions from Canon card.

All persistent changes tin be seen in ML source code by examining the calls to prop_request_change. Some of the changes are not persistent (for example, LiveView zoom level), and they were non included in the above list.

5D Mark III: Why are at that place 2 different ML versions for firmware 1.ane.3 and 1.2.iii and which one should I install?

There are major differences betwixt both firmware versions. You have to choose which one fits your needs all-time. Detailed explanations in first post in "5D Mark III ane.1.3" thread.

Where tin I find "Stable/V2.3" version?

Stable v2.3 is outdated and no longer supported.
Some years ago dev team switched to some kind of rolling release model: Each validated alter to ML code (aka: "ostend") creates a new build.
But - substantially - Nighlty Builds are frozen since 2018. Later all piece of work on official experimental builds stopped, too.
For those reasons it is highly unlikely to go another "stable build" in foreseeable future.

Troubleshooting

It won't kicking!

• Make sure yous didn't delete AUTOEXEC.BIN from your ML card. If you did, format the card, take the battery out, and reboot.

• Remove battery and card. Put bombardment dorsum and start the camera without card.

• If the above works, merely format the bill of fare and do a fresh install of ML.

• Onetime versions only: if the LED is blinking continuously, you have the wrong Canon firmware version.

ML won't work with my SD-to-CF adapter

ML does not back up SD-to-CF adapters. Period. If ML fails to run yous are on your ain.

I get an error message "Help files not constitute"

And yous go advice to make sure y'all copied all files. Sorry, but this error message may be considered to be a running gag for insiders. Long story brusque: Yous have done nothing wrong and yous can do zippo almost information technology! The assist files are missing for a long time and it is non known when they will come up dorsum. In the meantime you may want to admission the online version (WIP): Photographic camera Help

Where is seedling ramping?

It was replaced with AutoETTR followed by deflickering in post. Cheque this forum thread: Flicker Free ETTR Timelapse: - -Beginners Guide & Basic Postal service Processing --

This method gives much improve results, compared to the old implementation. Why? Considering AutoETTR attempts to minimize noise (subject to various constraints), and the deflicker algorithm also corrects variations such as quantization errors when ramping the exposure (up to 0.125 EV for shutter speed) or natural flicker.

Furthermore, the exposure and the deflicker algorithm are independent at present, so you can swap out ETTR and apply whatever exposure method you lot wish (such equally manual ramping, Canon's Av mode, or the AutoExpo module).

You can fifty-fifty use the deflickering algorithm for regular pictures, to get consistent effulgence in post.

For advanced ramping options, cheque out the Advanced Intervalometer module.

Where is picture mode remap?

Nosotros had serious problems with it, so it was disabled. The problems were confirmed with a minimal example lawmaking, so the issue is either in Canon firmware (which was probably not designed for dynamic mode remapping) or in the manner we request the way remapping process.

The only way to get it dorsum is to prove us a safety way to change the shooting mode. For this y'all need to signal out what'due south wrong with this telephone call: prop_request_change(PROP_SHOOTING_MODE, &new_mode, iv), and advise a different method - which can just be done past examining Canon code and understanding how mode switching works.

Testing will non help - the probability of things going wrong is very low, but nonzero.

Why does the photographic camera have pictures when pressing the shutter one-half-mode?

`Trap focus`_ may be active.

Why do I have to press the shutter push button twice to take a motion-picture show?

Mirror Lockup (MLU) is active.

Why is the LED blinking every 5 seconds?

You may accept forgotten your photographic camera on… with the main display off.

This is also a reminder that, when the chief brandish is off, battery volition drain faster than with Canon firmware (most twice equally fast). When the display is on, the divergence is much less obvious.

Why did the autofocus terminate working?

It was probably moved to back button (* or AF-ON). Bank check your custom functions. It may happen if you take the battery out in the center of photo shooting.

Anyhow… whatsoever serious DSLR user should fix AF to back push ;)

Why pic style X does not announced in movie mode?

My camera freezes / I become ERR70/80/99 / I get corrupted files. Why?

• Format your card from the camera. Some of these problems are caused past filesystem corruption or cheap card readers. E'er employ the safe removal feature before you unplug your card from your estimator.

• If you become ERR70, you will likewise get a crash log on your carte du jour. Delight send this file to developers.

• Run the stability tests from the Debug card. If the tests fail, report a bug and transport your config file to developers.

• Make sure the problem goes away with stock Canon firmware.

  • If yes, it'due south probably a ML bug. Observe a way to reproduce information technology with the latest nightly build, and report it on the issue tracker.

  • Otherwise, information technology's probably a hardware issue - effort a unlike card, bill of fare reader, lens or whatsoever else might be relevant to your particular problem.

• For general questions, installation issues, or for assist with potentially bricked cameras, please utilize the forum.

What near ERR20 when taking pictures?

This trouble is not related to (or caused by) Magic Lantern.

Yous will get this error when your shutter mechanism no longer works properly. Contact your Canon service center.

Consider entering your shutter count in the Camera Shutter Life Database.

Why feature Ten doesn't work properly?

• Read the manual. Some features may non be 100% intuitive, or it may be a known consequence.

• Look in the forum and here in the FAQ. If y'all can't observe the solution, you may ask for help.

• If yous suspect a ML bug, detect a way to reproduce it with the latest nightly build, and report it on the issue tracker.

During installation error message "ML directory not found! Please copy all ML files." appears

Known issues with Big Sur (macOS eleven.x) and flash memory cards with ExFAT file system.
Workaround: Format card with FAT32 file organization and go on with installation as before: Re-create extracted build files and directories to bill of fare, insert card to camera and apply Canon Firmware Update option to install again. Error will not be seen this time.
After installation and startup it is recommended to format card inside photographic camera with "Keep ML" option. Camera will employ ExFAT file arrangement again and ML will rewrite files and directories to card automatically.

Technical

Does it piece of work with CHDK?

We accept used some of the CHDK tools to learn almost Canon firmware files, merely this is all new code. They have done an amazing job of supporting hundreds of different camera models across multiple architectures and operating systems. At some betoken in the future chdk might be ported to the 5D Mark two, just this projection is much more than focused on just the 5D Marking 2 and the needs of film makers. CHDK is a great projection for Canon's Point-and-Shoot cameras. Without their initial effort in understanding DryOS, Canon'southward firmware files and the kick process, I wouldn't accept been able to make equally much progress as quickly as I did. While I was able to employ modern tools to analyze dump files of ROM images cheers to their efforts, they got started bitbanging a UART via the status LED on a camera body. That's truly hardcore.

Why the name change?

Originally the project was called only 5D Mark Free, but out of an abundance of caution information technology seemed best to avoid Canon'southward trademarks.

What is it written in? Tin I go the source?

The firmware hack is in C, with some inline associates for boot strapping. The firmware build tools are in Perl and use Makefiles for dependency tracking. You need an arm-linux-elf build of gcc and binutils. Most of the code analysis has been done with objdump, strings and the IDA demo. No tech back up will be provided. If information technology breaks y'all become to keep both pieces. If y'all know what all of these terms mean and aren't scared of the possibility of breaking your photographic camera, you tin can download the Magic Lantern firmware source code.

How do I get a ROM0.bin firmware image?

We do not distribute ROM images, nor IDA .idb files, since they are verbatim copies of Catechism'due south copyrighted code. You tin find the ROM images from your own camera under ML/LOGS on your carte du jour.

What are all of the 0xff81beef things and funny names like EP_SetManualMovieMode()?

These are the addresses in the official ROM firmware for different functions and names that we have given to functions. If you load the ROM0.bin image into IDA or employ objdump yous can trace through the instructions to determine how the software works. If y'all are just using the camera, they don't demand to mean anything to you, merely they give other developers a place to look in the firmware image.

The function names are unlikely to exist the aforementioned as the ones in Canon's source code, which we have never seen. Nosotros name functions based on what they seem to do, or debugging / diagnostic strings embedded in the function. It isn't perfect, but information technology is sufficient to locate the important things for job creation, file I/O and GUI operation.

Misc

No 1 at Catechism has contacted u.s.a. regarding Magic Lantern or software evolution for their DSLR cameras. We are very eager to hash out the projection with them, however, so if y'all have whatever technical contacts inside of Canon'south software team, please put them in touch with u.s.a..

Troll Questions

Ask one of those and you may become banned from our forum ;)

When will we be able to shoot in our Canon 100 fps, 200 fps, m fps!?

When y'all buy this photographic camera and slap a Canon sticker on it.

My Sony photographic camera can record 1080p @ 60fps, why my 650D can't?

Because the 650D isn't your Sony camera.

I am new here I dont know anything about coding [...] I want to exist able to shoot Raw and 4K

Why is it so hard to change the LiveView resolution, when elements like bit rate control and HDR video seem to be relatively easy to implement?

Knowing where to tweak which annals values to become other resolutions is every bit simple as translating a pile of Egyptian glyphs.

Canon has announced that the SX280 will shoot 60fps at 1080p and a 14 fps Burst rate. I am sure the Digic 6 can easily handle the double of both rates.

How exactly did you reach this conclusion?

Whatsoever progress on XYZ?

If you tin't find annihilation almost it in the relevant forum thread, it's prophylactic to assume there was none.

If y'all are interested in XYZ and have the skills to improve information technology, feel free to do so and submit a pull request.

If you don't have the right skills, request this question will but serve to annoy those who might have them. Doing some inquiry almost XYZ and sharing your findings would be much better - this may encourage others to take a await at it.

When volition you implement XYZ?

When it's ready.

Don't forget that Magic Lantern is a spare-time projection, so the progress is not always as quick as nosotros would like. More than info hither and here.

Not simply that, but the nature of evolution, especially the kind of reverse-technology that goes on in the case of something like ML, is unpredictable. A single issue might exist fixed in five minutes, or it may accept weeks, months or years to solve. One notable example is the shutter issues on EOS M, where the event takes identify on a secondary processor not directly controlled by Magic Lantern (so, later on some hundred hours of research spanned over several years, the conclusion was that a ready is much more hard than nosotros could accept imagined).

→ Avoid asking for ETAs - information technology's more rude than you may realize!

When are y'all going to work on XYZ?

Volition ML ever exist bachelor for 999D?

(999D = any camera model not nevertheless supported)

If you lot start to learn C, Assembler and contrary technology embedded devices with ARM architecture and are willing to put several hundred hours of piece of work into it: Sure, in that location will exist!

How long it will have to have ML on 999D?

Estimated: at to the lowest degree several hundred hours for the initial port, without including maintenance or advanced features (such as raw video).

In practice:

• bold a developer were employed to work on this port full-time: at least 2-iii months, without any guarantees of success.

• assuming a developer dedicates 20 minutes/day on average to this item port: virtually 3 years.

• if everybody waits for somebody else to complete the port: code doesn't grow on trees. Sun inbound cherry giant phase, proton decay and such things… might actually happen commencement ;)

Why camera model 999D isn't supported yet?

Why feature XYZ isn't implemented yet?

Why issues XYZ isn't stock-still yet?

One of these:

1. Because nobody has written the code for it. Code doesn't grow on trees ;)

2. Some things are genuinely difficult - or impossible to achieve - on electric current Canon hardware.

→ Why I Haven't Fixed Your Outcome Yet (long respond)
→ Consider learning to lawmaking.

Why are you working on 40D while I'thousand waiting for ML on 5D Marking IV?

Information technology's a volunteer project. People piece of work on any they find fun or interesting, on whatever camera they have.

People who piece of work on 40D probably don't have a 5D Marking IV in their easily.

→ Consider donating and/or learning to lawmaking.

I'grand tired of waiting for XYZ, going to jump ship to Sony / BMPCC / whatever!

Good luck!
